Sam looked at the whole scene coldly. He even looked a little bored looking at the people who are clearly stumped at the first obstacle he placed.

He has prepared many other things for them.

In the past two months, Sam mostly made use of the stream and dug so many underground lines for water to flow through the whole town, and installed several new toys all over.

Most of them don't use the inscriptions and formations, rather they are dangerous because of the mechanism itself within them.

The mechanism is operated by the spirits and they are all connected to the crystal table.

Sam used the water stream to the extreme. He and Chatur both came up with this design. Sam is responsible for activating anything that is connected to the spiritual energy and Chatur is mostly in charge of moving throughout the city and attacking them after they breached the first barrier.

Sam did make some formations that are suitable for his teammates to fight with, but they are not integrated with the surroundings, they are something that Sam wouldn't leave in this place nor sell to the dwarves.

They are personally crafted for his teammates so that they could use it when they are facing multiple enemies.

He used some of the tricks he learned while making his scale gadget in these formations. They are extremely helpful when fighting multiple enemies and got surrounded by them.

But from the looks of it, his preparations might have been overkill.

These people couldn't even cross the first obstacle, much less test the rest of the town defenses.

But soon, the deadlock was cracked as they used some undead humans to cross the line.

They used the flying beasts and sent some people to the other side trying their best to avoid the water jets at the same time, the undead jumped over to the thinner water jets and shielded with their bodies, creating a small interval. The Minotaurs jumped over them in this interval and crossed the water.

They just used other undead as meat shields as they defended against the water jets shot from houses on either side.

The water jets that are being shot from the houses are loaded with Hydra poison.

Sam placed a vial of poison in the guns that are creating these jets mixing the poison with it.

Minotaurs who are wearing full body armor of decent quality are also unable to completely escape the brunt of the corrosiveness of the water.

The attacks continued. And every house has at least one water jet based on its size and some have two.

But that is not all. When they tried to void the jets by going into some blind spots of those jets, something came up from the side and latched on their backs.

That is one of the shadows of Sam.

They took posts in different places along with the rest of Sam's beasts.

Even shadow mice are doing their jobs here. Sam felt like he is really working too hard for the dwarves' sake and only wished that he would be able to get something worthwhile in return.

The shadow just didn't attack the Minotaur. It used a syringe to directly stab into the nape of the Minotaur making him take in the poison and then placed a disc that latched on the body of the Minotaur.

A black glow appeared on the Minotaur while he writhed in pain.

Soon, the Minotaur fell. But as soon as it did, the body once again moved. It turned into undead and the Minotaur undead attacked its own companions.

The shadow that disappeared earlier once again returned. It took advantage of the Minotaur that is under attack and injected another shot to him and placed another disc on his body.

Another undead.

Another disruption.

The enemy troops soon fell into chaos.

They are painfully paying a price to cross the first obstacle but they are unable to escape the chaos completely.

The only thing they have is numbers. But the problem with those numbers is that they are not intelligent. They are dumb and ferocious. They wouldn't be able to take it lying down when they are being attacked.

They did just that.

At this moment, white-colored insects came out from hiding.

They flew towards the fighting Minotaurs and started biting them off sucking their life force and spiritual energy.

The three routes are already being blocked.

The situation went on for hours but the Minotaurs couldn't figure out a way. They wanted to destroy the houses that have water jets with brute force, but they couldn't reach them.

This left so much work for the flying beasts and the undead servants of the vampires on them along with some humans a lot to do.

They started attacking the houses from the top.

But at this moment, the spears flew out through the air and impaled into the flying beasts. The Crossbows are back into business again.

Sam has divided the town into three rings. The first one is after they cross the water. They would have to deal with the water jets, undead, and the Zoi termites.

The second ring is for the troops of the dwarven territory to handle.

They will use the terrain advantage and some of the tricks Sam left them in that area to deal with the people there and there are some formations Sam laid down that could help them heal and fight back at the same time.

As for the last one, that is the ring for Pre-transcendent stage cultivators.

There Sam's friends lay down waiting for the Pre-transcendent stage Minotaurs and Vampires to make their way. Along with them, the Pre-transcendent stage cultivators of the dwarves spread all over the three rings to make sure the Pre-transcendent stage Minotaurs are not meddling with Nascent stage battles.

They would fight to their heart's content in the third ring.

The third ring is the place surrounding the Town head's mansion. The last obstacle is Sam himself inside the town head mansion.

As for the residents, they are all moved to the new bunker Sam constructed beneath the Town head Mansion.

Now the whole town is just a Playground.

Sam also discovered something when he dug under the town head mansion.

The vitality of the earth there is extremely high.

It is high to the point if that place was used to cultivate crops, they would have their maturing time reduced by half.

He felt like this place has something related to the secret that the dwarves are hiding and this place might as well be the reason for the battle against the town.

Sam couldn't get the required information from the dwarves, he could find an only one way. And that is capturing the Vampires.

While Sam is waiting for the Vampires to attack, the battle went on.

The troops of Minotaurs are being reduced drastically. But the Vampires showed no remorse. They are just sending them forward. The Vampire servants that are responsible for commanding, started moving to the corpses and created undead once again.

They are trying their best to dodge the water jets and enter the second ring.

Inside the second ring, the crossbow shooters are mainly responsible for air defense and also to stop the people from climbing up the houses and move faster.

They didn't attack the people on the ground that much.

Sam just waved his hand one more time and the true power of the second ring activated.

The water jets once again hit them. There are small water canals on either side of every road and Chatur is using the water to hit every single person. But his main target is the undead. There are not many living targets in the area and they are dealt with by the Dwarven troops. But the undead is the targets of the water jets and Chatur's attacks.

And the reason is simple. As soon as the undead experienced the water attack, they started malfunctioning. They are unable to move forward and their skin started burning a bit. The death energy responsible to keep them intact started being dissipated.

The water is full of excessive vitality and this is caused by the healing formation Sam laid.

If the water left the healing formation, it wouldn't carry the same amount of vitality for a long time. But to shoot instantly, it is good enough.

This ring's main aim is to eradicate the undead soldiers while the first ring's main goal is to increase the casualties and reduce the live troops.

The Minotaurs started becoming afraid.

They managed to enter through three ways and they drastically outnumber their enemies, but they couldn't help but wince at the sight of the casualties.

But they couldn't back down. There is no going back now. Even if they retreated, with these casualties dwarves would start their invasion and Minotaurs would become extinct.

They are in a point of no return as from what they heard, even the Minotaur king is engaged in the battle with the Council elders of the Dwarves.

This is an all-out war. That is the only reason, they still pushed forward.
